Steffie: If George was his name (hard to remember) he was a relatively minor character in the best Megaman Legends fanfiction ever, "A Different Place", by Aaron D. Link away! www.fanfiction.net/s/1841954/1/A_Different_Place Captain Amadeus will end up playing a larger role by the end of the story, but I still want the focus to be on the canon characters as much as possible. There are so many of them, and a lot were underutilized in the games; Dantz, a minor character in Missadventures of Tron Bonne, became my favorite character in "A Different Place", for example. Dragge: My problem with action is that my writting is rather laid-back; however, I think I end up doing pretty well. Either Claymoor or Bola will be appearing in Chapter 10; haven't decided who, yet. But it will begin the third segment of the series, and last for a couple chapters. I've been meaning to read your one fanfiction, "Dragge: Revelations Of A Hero". Maybe I'll have time some day this week. And yes, I highly recommend getting a fanfiction.net page.

Please by all means write a review when you read it. I've been wanting to update the story for a while but I've been busy this summer and haven't gotten the time. Also read what I wrote to ravenf6 about what I might do with my stories on the forums here.

Okay Dragge, I've read and reviewed the first ten chapters of your story. Hope you won't be too dissapointed by my criticisms.
On a different subject, useless update time! I've finished the first two and a half pages of chapter 8. I should have the chapter done by the end of today, and posted on the net tomorrow.

I did read the review and maybe you're right about everything. I think this is the whole reason why I want to move over to fanfics.net. I remember you saying something about you forget how good your origianl fan work was and such. (To tell you the truth I look back now and think my original was bad now but good two yrs back) Anyway thanks for the review and I appreciate it. After you said that I think people on the forums don't care about revised stories or something of the sort. Maybe I'm overgoing myself. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think from here on out I'll start doing my work on fanfics.net where I'll have a different audience and just post about the fics here where if people wish to review they can. As I stated please correct me if I'm wrong. Still like your story!

FIRST... there's an Update!
I've just uploaded Chapter 8 to my fanfiction.net page! Hope everyone here likes it; it's full of SERIOUS BUSINESS! Like Teasel screaming like a little girly man. Anyways, it's the suspensful conclusion to the battle started in chapter 7, so read on!
Directed at Dragge:
Hey, glad you're taking my criticism well. I've lost friends over reviews like that in the past, and I didn't want that to happen again.
Moving to fanfiction.net will get you more reviews, to be sure, and will undoubtedly help you to grow even further; being in indirect competition with other authors does that.
My exact words were that old stories are never as good as you remember them. NOT that they are better than you remember them. That's why I said that, in general, rewriting old fics is a bad idea.
Also, just posting links to your story's fanfiction.net page saves a lot of room in the forum topic, and you don't have to scroll down as much to read comments. I'd recommend doing so once you've got an account there. And if you have any further questions regarding your fanfics, I'd suggest sending me a message rather than posting in my fanfiction topic.
Edit: (July 14, 2009) I've got a page and a half done of chapter 9. Yay? Nay? After four chapters of nearly non-stop action, I finally get to go back to writting what I'm best at: dialogue. It's only fair that I've named the chapter "Tete a Tete"; for some reason "The Talking Chapter" just didn't sound right.
Also, I just noticed that the phrase under my name has changed to "Official Fanfic Critic". *sniff* This is the proudest day of my life.
Edit the Second: (July 15, 2009) I got another page done yesterday; would have been more but I was really busy that day. Hopefully, I have the rest of the chapter done by the end of the day, giving me thursday to work on the short humor fic that I'd like to upload on the same day.

Ha ha! Chapter 9 has just been uploaded to fanfiction.net. I wrote the second half of the chapter at 12 a.m. yesterday, and I had to re-read it this morning to fix all the mistakes that were in it.
It's the chapter that NO ONE was asking for, "Tete-a-Tete"! Taking a break from the action mommentarily, this chapter focuses on character interaction and the introduction of certain plot elements that will be explored further in subsequent chapters. Also: more Bonne humor!
The next 'episode' of the fic will begin with chapter 10. For those wondering, the first 'episode' of the fic compromised chapter 1-3, and the second episode was chapter 4-8. There are plenty of surpises left in this fic, so stayed tuned for weekly updates!

Chap. 9 wasn't bad. I liked the use of Barrel in it. Of course Barrel is (what do you call it subordinate characters?) and he seemed left out of Legends 2. It was a great chapter having Roll talk with her (litteraly) closest family member. I'm going to start a story hopefully soon and once I do, all of Legends-station and fanfiction.net will know!

Welcome to Legendary Emerald's 100th post spectacular! I haven't posted here in a few days, because I was waiting to have something for you all when I did. Aren't you all lucky? First off, Chapter 10 of Legends 3: Endgame is online. This chapter mainly serves to set up the upcoming plotline, and as such doesn't do all that much. Still, my own peculiar brand of humor will keep you from hating it and forming a lynch mob (probably). Secondly, I worked my playstation 3 playing fingers to the bone to bring you this image of Captain Amadeus, created using Soul Caliber 4's character creation mode! fc03.deviantart.com/fs46/f/2009/209/e/9/Captain_Amadeus_by_LegendaryEmerald.jpg It's not a perfect representation (he's only wearing one coat, and his beard isn't nearly spikey enough) but it works well enough, I think. Looks more correct than the Trigger and Roll I created in the same game, at least. Okay, that's all for the celebration. There's a cake in the corner, for those of you who want to get fat (the cake is a lie), and some beer in the fridge in case you wanna die of a bladder infection. Aren't I a nice person?

I've just read the latest chapter; and I enjoy it alot. I love how you introduced Bola. Teisel's reaction to Roll when she tried to correct him's hilarious as well.
I also love the picture with Amadeus. He looks quite awesome.

Cool, someone here besides xDarkZerox (aka xxDarkPhoenixx) has read the chapter! I had the idea for Bola's introduction in this manner since I first hinted at his appearance in this forum; I'm glad you think it worked. I like doing short peices with little dialogue once in a while, because it gives me time to practice my descriptions and the like.
And yes, Captain Amadeus is quite cool. He won't be showing up for a while though, unless I suddenly change my way about how this 'episode' will play out. In fact, I really need to start work on chapter 11 today, before I end up with another chapter late.
SPECIAL NOTICE:
A couple months ago, I sent in the first four chapters of Legends 3 to perhaps the best Sonic fanfiction site on the net, Robert Browns Sanctuary, for consideration in their misc. corner of the site. I got a reply a few weeks ago, and Brown said he would read them and get back to me with an answer, though I was warned that the site might be moving soon because Geocities is closing down.
But if Robert Brown was kind enough to host the terrible Sonic stories I wrote when I was twelve and thirteen, I have high hopes that this Legends story will find it's way onto one of the most frequented fanfiction websites on the web.

I read it myself back around when you first posted it. Sorry for not responding (I felt lazy ;D) I do enjoy the fact that Bola's in it (hope to see more of him) and the pic of Amadeus was a genius way to show people what he looks like (or close to it). I've been wanting to upload pics for my Dragge fan-fic but the only way I can is using my Aunt's digital camera. So until then I can't wait until the next chapter (and when I start uploading my Legends 3 story (once again lazy ;D) So keep on writing (like I haven't been doing!)

So keep on writing (like I haven't been doing!) I'm trying, I'm trying! ;D For some reason, I've been having trouble making the effort to write lately. It's not even that I have writers block; I know how the whole episode will play out in my mind. It's just that writting takes up so much time, and sometimes I'd rather use that time for something else. I can only upload pictures from my DSi camera, which is why the quality isn't too high. Which reminds me, I have a few more legends related pics that I need to put on deviant art later today... UPDATE (Aug 06, 2009) I got the first two and a 1/4th pages of chapter eleven written today. That number will get bigger once I actually turn the second half of page two into prose; sometimes, to speed up the creative process, I just write the character's lines and fill it in with description later. Hey, it's worked so far. Anyways, chapter 11 likely won't be done by tomorrow, unless I REALLY get up early to work on it some more. But hopefully I'll have it completed by the end of tomorrow, and it'll be ready to be posted by monday at the latest (and yes, I know the last time I said 'monday at the latest', the latest turned out to be a wednesday). So keep on watching this space for future notices! UPDATE AGAIN (Aug 08, 2009): Chapter 11 is ALMOST done. Just need to write one more conversation (hooray for talking!) and end the chapter. I'm taking a break right now, but I'll hopefully have finished it in a few more hours.

Chapter GET! Number eleven, "Decisions", is now online for your reading pleasure. It's a bit more serious than the last chapter, proving that some cool action sequences will be coming up sooner rather than later. Plus, it has Bola in it; how can a chapter with the carefree, rapidly ageing Bola possibly fail?

Can't wait to see some more Bola action! I've always liked Bola as a character. He was always laid back and honestly was the only person in the whole Legends saga that didn't give a care about finding the Mother Lode. Also I loved his old style theme whenever he would appear. That's what got me into his character. Just wondering, in Legends 2 he tells Klaymoor that he has enough money to last him a while. Since he seems to be wandering the streets does he still have a good bit of money or is it the fact that he doesn't feel like settling down in one spot for a long period of time? Only you have that answer legendaryemerald. Can't wait until the next chapter arises and great job with the cliff-hanger there.
